One of my very favorite fall activities is tailgating at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Games! I love it because of the camaraderie, ritual, and, of course, food! The morning of the games, we pack up our SUV with all of our goodies, set the new house alarm thanks to great Adt deals, and are off to the game! We set up camp in the parking lot of the stadium. We always bring chairs, tables, plates, plastic utensils, napkins, and of course, food and beverages. Usually, we cook our side dishes at home the night before the game, and grill our main courses at the game. Our must have food items to bring are: potato salad, deviled eggs, potato chips, macaroni salad, condiments, hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, buns and baked beans. We always bring a radio so that we have music and the pregame show to listen to. One other item we love to bring is games! Our favorites are the corn hole toss, a football, and a soccer ball. These are wonderful items for keeping the kids occupied while waiting for the game to start. Tailgating at football games has been a tradition in my family for years, and I hope that my children carry on the tradition some day.

We were supposed to go to Walmart today but the weather outside was bad. We decided to go to Golden Corral instead to have a buffet lunch since we are lazy to cook today. I remember my first few months living in Orlando (three years ago). I was so scared when it rains and hundreds of lightning strike.The weather changes every 5 minutes. It might be exaggerated but, true. If it has a storm warning, it is really bad. After an hour, the sky would look so blue and no traces of bad weather at all. If it is summer here, it is over a hundred degree and you will just endure the excruciating humidity. But hey, this is Florida. The beautiful Sunshine State and I love it here.

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is take my car out for a spin with the windows down, just driving around the back roads of my town. I used to do this all the time when I just needed a moment to clear my head.

Now that I’m retired, I decided to splurge on a gift for myself—a new Mustang convertible. Now I’ve been able to go out for several relaxing drives, top down, enjoying the wind on my face and the sounds of nature. There’s really nothing better.

Well, somewhere down the line, I realized that my hearing isn’t quite what it used to be—especially when I’m driving around. At first I thought it had something to do with the whipping wind from the convertible top being down, but then I started noticing it even when I wasn’t driving. I decided to go to a nearby Miracle Ear location to see if they could figure out what was wrong. Turns out, my hearing had been on the decline for a while and I really needed hearing aids. I got them right there on the spot and, let me tell you—my drives have increased tenfold ever since!

I am not a cookie monster and I can live a day without a cookie snack. There is an exception to that though! If there is a Pepperidge product in the house, I will be an eating machine and will only quit when it's all devoured! LOL! Sounds an exageration? It's your call but, I truly love this product.

I was curious why I love Pepperidge and what's in the taste that pass my simple taste? My curiousity led me to visit the Website and I read " A PASSION FOR BAKING: Everything we bake has a heart and soul, and you can taste it." Oh well, need I explain more to you? Go get one yourself and you can tell. Enjoy your Pepperidge Cookie!

One of the home stores in Orlando that we miss while we live in Mississippi is IKEA the Mall of Millenia. We love this place because it is very convenient for us to find the things that we need in the house. I love the furniture designs and the food in this Swedish Store. This store opened in November 14, 2007, basically turning three years this year. Why this store is convenient? All the surrounding vicinity is all I need to spend a funfilled day of shopping and enjoy a good meal. Hubby loves to shop so early in the day to avoid the rush and the huge crowd of shoppers. We always take advantage of their affordable breakfast and they have oh-so-yummy food on display. Check out my plate here, it's salmon fillet with vegies. I am not a vegie lover but, I clean my plate here. The flavor is so good especially this mushy vegie with broccoli in it.

Visit the food section in IKEA and when you are full, shop all you need for your home improvements. They have special event this coming December 10, 2010. IKEA will be serving dinner buffet for limited seats from 6 PM for less than $10. How cool is that? I will see you there!

Okay, I am so lazy today! I was unpacking our things for the kitchen, bedroom and Florida room for almost two weeks now. I enjoyed it but, today I prefer to be lazy. But, at 8 in the evening, I started to hang my clothes in the walk in closet. Before the day ended, I made a major accomplishment of arranging my clothes and re-arranged my computer table. What an accomplishment despite of being lazy for most of the day.

Well, late in the evening, I decided to fix my walk-in closet a lil bit. I guess, this day is not afterall wasted.

My brother in law lived in Hawaii for so many years. He got three children and the family decided to move to Missouri. They bought this ancestral house which was build in 1858-65 and renovated in 1879-1900. It has full of charm and has 7 bedrooms but, they used only three bedrooms. Last February, they came for a vacation in Mississippi and the kids told me that their house is haunted. They are not afraid because they are used to it but, they do not stay alone in the house. My brother in law just laugh about it and invited us to visit them one day.

I am very curious and my husband promised them that we will visit any time soon. Until that time comes, I will investigate if this house is haunted or not!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of USC. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have been very busy for the last two months driving back and forth to Florida and Mississippi. This week is our final preparation to finally move to Florida for good. I quit my job two months ago to pursue my Masters Degree in Education. I might check an online course this week if I can still catch up in the enrolment. I had few MA subjects taken back home and I didn't know if those subjects will be credited. I am in the process of acquiring any program information in an online school in the country.

What about you? Are you planning to go back to school too? Have you heard about USC Rossier School of Education? MAT at USC offers current educators and aspiring teachers the prestige of earning a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from an elite research university with the convenience and flexibility of studying online. For me, this is a major benefit that anyone could ever get when we enrol for an online degree. This school is known to be highly interactive using online learning strategy combined with field-based experiences.

This school offers scholarship, tuition reimbursement program and accelerated program. If you are a student of USC, you will have the opportunity to become a part of the elite USC Trojan Family. Visit the Website for more information about MAT at USC. Did you know that Rossier and the MAT@USC were awarded by AACTE for innovative use of technology in education? They used video technology that introduced the interactive program. This is a School of Education which is ranked #22 in the United States, and #9 among all private universities by US News and World Report. If you are a student, you will get a full USC student status and benefits. You can also participate in commencement ceremonies plus, a free lifetime Alumni Association memberships. This is very prestigious right? Let's check it out now!

We just purchase a condo unit in Florida and we close it today. The closing process was not as easy as we thought it would be because the property was owned by Fannie Mae. Our realtor lacks the initiative to follow up the bank, listing agent, title company and others. We also noticed that our realtor has no technology with him to check his emails in real time. The only time that he gets to us was when he checked his emails in the evening. TIME is the essence to any Realtors. Anyway, we close the property today and we are so glad!

I owned a property in a nice uptown community in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. It is a well gated European styled community called Gran Europa Village. Close to the airport and one of the best golf courses in the country is just adjacent to the place. Cagayan is continuously booming with infrastructure. That is why big time businesses such as SM Prime Holdings never hesitated to open SM Cagayan in the city.SM mall is located in the uptown area of Cagayan and less than 5 minutes away from my place. I miss this mall. It has everything in it and considered as the supermall in Northern Mindanao.

*It was opened on November 2002 with a land area of 5.2 hectares (13 acres) and a total floor area of 86,288 square metres (928,800 sq ft) (56288m2 mall + 30000m2 parking building). -source wikipedia

If you are planning to buy a property in Cagayan de Oro City, buy somewhere near this area. It maybe expensive but it will be worth it.
